all 4 weel drive cars scrub out the inside edge

it could be your tracking but may not be

my weels are camber adjusted aswell and this certainly dosent help on the inside edges of tyres

i only learnt this when i thought something was wrong took the weel of and could see wire

now i only look at tyre wear on the inside edges

Not exactly true :)

I always found I scrubbed the outside edges off :(
But had Gatwick Subaru do the Geo set up to their specs and they lasted 18k miles :eek: with really even wear.
It helps if when cornering you think "slow in fast out" ;)

It sounds like you have too much camber on the front wheels. Meaning the top leans in, so you run on the inside edge more. Great for cornering grip but they do wear a lot faster!!!

What tyre pressures are you running and what size tyres?

205 50 r16 at 32psi. just had two new ones on the front and it seems to handle better as in the steering is much lighter and it doesn't feel like your running on rails as much.:thumb:

Pressures sound about right.
